    Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

    Worse news. I just sexed them and they were a pair! The female is now dead.

    Glad to hear someone is having some success!

    Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

    And with amazing timing I am hit with horrible new developments. One of the two nymphs was dead in the cup this morning. The second, the one in the photo, molted and had rear legs stuck. I don't expect it to survive next molt. :( Does anyone still think I am able to write a meaningful care...

    Thanks! I appreciate that.

    Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

    That would be quite drive! Rest assured, I absolutely LOVE working with these insects and feel it's been my honor to observe and document every possible aspect of their life cycle. I've gotten more from my interactions with them than any previous pets (and most humans), and if not for them I...

    Just throw thousands of dollars at equipment and software then become a monk that commits all your time into learning how to use it and you too can take awesome photos. :lol:

    Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

    Me too! I'm hoping those shapes hold out into adulthood. So far the body plates look about the same as the other species but maybe we'll get lucky and they'll get a bit more exaggerated as they mature. If we're even luckier the 2 nymphs will turn out to be a pair. Haven't sexed them yet but I...

    Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

    If I had succeeded I would have but as things turned out I may have done something wrong that caused the failure. I'd hate to put bad info out there. Plus no one else has these so it's kind of pointless. If I do manage to get a culture going I'd feel more confident in my technique and maybe...

    Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

    That's a possibility but not sure it's really necessary. At this point it must be that she's sterile. So far the other species I have is looking a little more ornate so I'll keep my fingers crossed I can get more of those and get a culture going.

    Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

    Male is dead. Witnessed 2 connections before he passed but none of the ooths have hatched. Discovered they dry out very easily and though I've taken precautions still no hatch. This species may be a bust but I have a different moss species in the works.
